Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-11 00:00:00 Pat Edmonds This is the first book I read on Lua...it's not a bad book as it explains a lot of Lua and also it's packed with lots of examples...however...it failed to excite me about learning Lua...why? Maybe the tone of the book is too serious...or maybe because knowing a lot about Scripting Languages I dind't feel like I was learning anything "groundbreaking"... Would I recommend this book? Well...for a total Lua noob...sure...why not...but this book alone might not be enough to leverage all the goodies that the language can provide...

Review # 2 was written on 2011-06-05 00:00:00 Bagus Sumaryono It is a very thorough introduction to this fun language. Good and insightful explanation for most of the things, and fortunately up to date (or notes diligently whenever it cannot be). Some of the later chapters are quite out of the "introductory scope" (e.g. the web and server programming) or curious choice (Lua on Palm PDAs) but can be useful at times. All in all I would recommend this book as first exposure to Lua.
